oj Miss Elizabeth Harrison, whose

raucjt interest to her many friends.

hostesses and presented to Miss Har
rison, who was the recipient of cno-
traffic. It would have cost more to
sell them as souvenirs than would be
derived from their slae, it was said.

I AMERICAN PRESTIGE INJURED
Failure of the United States to
ratify the peace treaty and join the
league of nations has made us re
garded abroad "as a race of quit- j
ters," while "our professions of ideal
l ism an disinterestedness are mark-
ed down for sham and hypocrisy,"
Raymond B. Fosdick, who recently
i resigned as under secretary-general
of the league of nations, declared in
' New York Sunday. Mr. Fosdick, I
who arrived Saturday, has spent the
last month in London and Paris fin
ishing up his work in connection
with the organization of the league.
"Our isolation is complete and we
face the rest of the wrld in alli
ance," he asserted. "It is foolish to
assume that the situation has no ele
ments of danger for us. Our posi
tion is one of peril, a fact that is evi
dently realized in Washington, judg
ing from the plans that are being
made for the biggest navy in the
world. The price of our isolation
will be armament."

' The Phonograph with a Soul '
SON
The tone-test is the acid-test of a
phonograph.
The artist sings. Suddenly he ceases
to sing and the New Edison takes up
the same song alone. Is there any differ
ence between the living voice and that
voice as Re-Created by the New Edison ?
4000 such tone-tests have been given.
50 different artists have made them.
, 3 million people have heard them.
In every test, human ear has been
unable to detect any difference between
living voice and Re-Created voice.
What other phonograph manufacturer
dare claim this much less guaran- v
tee it?
Insist upon seeing this Laboratory
Model of the New Edison. Let us give
you Edison's unique Realism Test. Let
us show you clippings from America's
leading newspapers which substantiate
all we say about the New Edison.
